*What AI thinks I look like working with clients.

I make websites

Clients say:

Can you make it pop more? I really like it but can you change it? That red is too red. Can you make the logo bigger? Exactly like that, but different. Can we go back to the first version? I think we need to start from scratch.

*What AI thinks I look like teaching students.

I teach web development

Students say:

Can you explain this again? No, I didn't read the error. There must be a problem with my computer. This is too hard. I got that code from ChatGPT, I don't know how it works. I'm having connection issues. No, I didn't read the instructions.

*What AI thinks I look like working with businesses.

I build software

Businesses say:

Can you lower the price? There's no budget for this, I hope you understand. It will be good exposure for you. We'd be a big name to have in your portfolio. We can promote you to our contacts. I got your invoice, it seems really high.

I'm an entrepreneur

Friends and family say:

Can you code? I have a business idea! No, I can't pay you, but you can share the profits. It's definitely worth a lot. Sorry, I can't tell you what it is, then you could just do it without me. Should be fairly easy though. I'll handle the admin side.
